Automatically Obtain
IP Address

Set this option to have the i.LON 600 obtain its IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway from the local network’s DHCP server. If this option is set, you have the
option of obtaining the Domain Suffix and/or DNS Server 1 automatically. If you
change this value, you must reboot the i.LON 600 for the change to take effect.
If the DHCP server cannot be contacted, the IP address will be set to

192.168.1.222

, the subnet mask will be set to

255.255.255.0

, and the default

gateway will be temporarily set to

192.168.1.222

. As soon as the DHCP server is

contacted, the i.LON 600 will reboot itself and receive a new IP address. This is not
recommended and requires additional configuration of the L
